Entries from January 2014

It's Saturday night and I'm at home catching up on deadlines. The first week back from the holidays, and it's a crush. In between projects, I fantasize about where to sneak off to for a very long weekend, entirely off-the-radar –– San Juan? Key West? Havana? I have much of the world to see. Meantime, dates in my diary:

On January 29th, in the Strand's Rare Book Room, I'll discuss The Allure of Chanel(Pushkin Press) at 7pm, as part of a chic panel.

On January 31st, my pet, Café Society, makes its debut. The list filled in less than an hour (hint: club members get first crack).

I'm on the benefit committee for "The Common in the (Eternal) City," May 21-- a little Rome in New York. Tickets now on sale.
